A hollow article is molded in a state where an inner surface of a neck portion including an inner screw portion is held by an inner neck mold, and then, the hollow article is demolded from the inner neck mold by inserting an ejection rod into the hollow article to be engaged with an inner surface of the hollow article and rotating the hollow article together with the ejection rod.

An apparatus and process for molding workpieces usable for consumer products. The workpieces may be injection molded with a cavity formed by a core pin and have an undercut, such as internal threads, in the cavity. The apparatus has a drive system with a stripper plate mounted for alternatingly forward and retracting axial movement. The stripper plate is axially driven and drives a stripper sleeve barrel cam and a core pin base barrel cam, each having respective cam followers. The respective motions of the cam followers are superimposed on a stripper sleeve insert, which drives a core pin sleeve. The core pin sleeve is subjected to responsive three dimensional motion, allowing an internally threaded workpiece to be unscrewed from the core pin sleeve. The system does not require separate drives for the core pin sleeve, a single stripper plate drive being sufficient and further allows each mold cavity/core pin combination in a mold half to be unique.

An injection molding mold including a neck mold forming an outer surface of a neck portion of a hollow article, an injection cavity mold forming an outer surface of a body portion of the hollow article, and an injection core mold forming an inner surface of the hollow article, in which the injection core mold includes an outer core mold forming an inner surface of the neck portion including an inner screw portion and, while rotating along the inner screw portion, being movable along a rotation axis thereof, and an inner core mold forming an inner surface of the body portion of the hollow article having a smaller diameter than that of the neck portion and being linearly movable inside the outer core mold along the rotation axis.

The invention relates to a blow-molded recipient including a reservoir, the reservoir having a bottom wall including an opening, a central element arranged at the opening of the reservoir, and a socket arranged to surround the central element. Both the socket and the central element show a lower end and an upper end and are connected by their respective upper ends by a disc with a central aperture. The assembly includes the socket, the central element and the disc, forming a ring that comes into one piece. At least a part of the bottom wall of the reservoir is arranged to face the disc. The reservoir is irreversibly fixed to the ring.

A preform suitable for blow molding into for an outer container usable for a pressurized aerosol dispenser. The preform has a longitudinal axis and a closed end bottom, an open neck. The neck has threads for accepting a valve having complementary threads. At least one pawl or ratchet is operatively juxtaposed with the periphery of the preform. The at least one pawl or ratchet allows onward rotation of the complementary valve in an onward direction, and prevents detachment of the valve in a reverse rotation direction. Any such preform can be blow molded into a corresponding outer container, and any such outer container can be blow molded from a corresponding preform.

A hollow article 10 is molded in a state where an inner surface of a neck portion 11 including an inner screw portion is held by an inner neck mold 52, and then, the hollow article 10 is demolded from the inner neck mold 52 by inserting an ejection rod 81 into the hollow article 10 to be engaged with an inner surface of the hollow article 10 and rotating the hollow article 10 together with the ejection rod 81.
